The New York Times recently reported on the decline in the number of international students attending U.S. schools and the negative political atmosphere and the repeated attacks on legal immigrants by the current Administration, is clearly the primary cause. The immediate impact is to U.S. schools but, the longer term impact is to U.S. employers particularly in the STEM fields where there is already a severe shortage of qualified workers. As many report, the short sightedness of U.S. immigration policy is a boon to countries such as Canada, Australia, and others.
